What We Know: The Missouri Department of Conservation is inviting hunters and dog lovers to spend a morning learning how to get the most out of hunting with a four-legged partner.
What It Means: MDC will host a Hunting Dog Basics workshop from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Aug. 22, at the Andy Dalton Shooting Range and Outdoor Education Center in Ash Grove.
The program will cover choosing the right hunting dog, basic obedience, and training for flushing, pointing, and retrieving.
Participants will also watch field and water demonstrations led by professional hunting dog trainers.
What’s Next: Hunters with young dogs are welcome to bring them, as long as the dogs are current on their vaccinations.
The workshop is free, but registration is required through the Missouri Department of Conservation.
Anyone with questions can contact MDC Conservation Educator Lyle Whittaker or the Andy Dalton Shooting Range for more information.
